I am going to replace the starter clutch on my little Ninja. Looking at the FSM, it indicates I need to crack open the alternator side and use a "special tool" to hold the rotor so I can remove the bolt holding the clutch on. (they are on opposite sides of the crankshaft)
This all makes sense and is a 2 on the level of mechanical complexity, BUT, I don't have the special tool and am not inclined to buy a $40 tool that will only do one thing. Does anyone have a special trick and/ or a different tool to achieve the same thing? Thanks.
